Ernst Flersheim (born 1862; died in 1944 in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp) was a German Jewish art collector who was persecuted by the Nazis.
[1] He married Gertrud von Mayer (born 2 August 1872; died 13 September 1944 in Bergen Belsen).
The Flersheim's collection included Ferdinand Hodler's "Thunersee mit Niesen",[3] "A Prayer before Supper" by Jan Toorop[4] and "Procession in the Mountains" by Adolf Hölzel.
[6] After 1945, Edith Eberstadt (née Flersheim) made claims for restitution for artworks in the collection.
[6] The efforts by the Flersheim's grandson, Walter Eberstadt, to recover art works by the Dutch painter Jan Toorop are documented at the Leo Baeck Institute.
